Paltronic 50 (Codes)

Paltronic 50 makes a difference between two different kinds of error – codes

Standard codes. These codes are shown steadily on the display and don’t integrate any further
information.

Flashing codes, which are shown with a second additional information code. The main code is
shown with a dot behind the number ( e.g. 63.) the additional information is shown without a dot
(e.g. 07).

Further the system distinguishes between status codes and error codes.

Status codes are information for the operator, which appear during the normal crane operation. By
using the crane in the right way, the status code shifts back automatically to normal operating
(00.). For example the code 03. shows an overload situation on the crane, which shifts back
automatically to code 00. when reducing the crane moment.

Status codes are characterised with a star ( * ) in the following description.

Error codes are codes signalising a mistake in the system. Even after repairing the mistake, the
code will not disappear automatically. The operator or the service technician has to reset the
system by pressing the OLP button or by restarting the system.

Error codes are characterised with two stars ( ** ) in the following description.
